i want to tint my windows, i've tried multiple times but
i can't seem to get the rear window smooth.  I have no
problems with the fronts just the rear back glass, i tried
tinting it in strips but they curve up too much, is there
something else i need to do?  Please help, i can't stand
having no tint on the rear window.  Also i read some
people tint the front glass?  Just the brow or the entire
glass?  If so how do you do that?

the rear window is a pain, I tried for like 2 hours to get it done in one piece but always ended up with air bubbles in the lower corners.  Take it to a pro thats done it before.

Careful with the heat and make sure the water/soap mixture is right and dont be affraid to use the mix.  Also, you can use a sponge to squeegee the bubbles out or a credit card (or a like) .
Those hand held squeegee's they sell are crap in my opinion.
